Bill > HSB5

This Study Bill, building upon existing Iowa law, prohibits school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools from serving meals to students in their breakfast or lunch programs that contain specific ingredients: red dye 40, yellow dye 7, or margarine. The bill amends sections related to charter schools and innovation zone schools to ensure they adhere to these same ingredient restrictions as school districts, provided they offer breakfast or lunch programs. This means that these artificial food colorings and margarine will no longer be permitted in meals served to students under these programs within these educational institutions.
